I'm waiting for the Govt to calculate all of the "help".Hmmmm.
I have a much bigger issue with the school system providing bkfst, lunch, dinner, weekend, and Holiday meals to kids whose families don't need the help.... the dot gov really trying to get more families hooked on the nanny state.
And my wife used to work for the Housing Authority, their outreach program was much the same; trying to get people that don't need it just so they can increase their domain and their budget/salaries/etc. Yet people would come in and DEMAND this that or the other, and be very unhappy with what they got. PEOPLE SUCK.
Tis the season. Bah. Humbug!
I'd think so, but no. He showed me a picture of a box of receipts at one of the homeless camps. After hearing it from him, it sounds like there are some crazy amounts of work being done to acquire drufs.Used to live downtown just South of Providence Park. In the few years that my wife and I were there, there was 1 guy (looked in his 20's and definitely homeless...possibly on something but had all his mental faculties with him when I ran across him) who asked me for cash outside the McD's down there. I told him I didn't carry cash and he then became the second homeless guy who will (likely) ever stand out in my mind: he asked if I'd buy him a meal (I bought him what probably amounts to a week's worth of calories and wished him well. Never saw him again after that night). That experience also happened to me while on business in Detroit.
Everyone homeless is there for one reason or another - the ones with mental issues or who aren't completely lost in addiction seem mighty grateful for some food or supplies.
Portland has, now, what seems like a lot of intentionally vagrant people. Not addicted, not unstable to any degree...just living life off the charity of others because they can. I group these folks with con artists, hucksters, charlatans, and thieves in my mind...and their existence has definitely caused me to lessen my charity over the years.
Is that still a thing, though? With more and more people paying by card and more and more stores offering e-receipts...this seems like a thing of the past already.
I still remember the guy I saw in Hillsboro at the exit of a fast food drive thru near the local Winco where I was grocery shopping. He was standing/leaning on crutches asking for handouts as people drove thru. Behind him, hidden behind bushes, not visible to the drive thru, but visible to me from a different angle, was his bicycle that he had ridden there.Portland has, now, what seems like a lot of intentionally vagrant people.

I frequently get the twofer (two for the price of one deal) from the fast food joint. Yup....the 2nd one, is usually given away to/for someone else. Though I make it a point NOT to give it to "that guy" with the sign just sitting on his butt.If I ever thought about giving beggars something after that, I had to think twice. Mostly I just gave an extra McD plain cheeseburger to someone with a dog. Tho it seems to me that somebody that is a beggar should not be supporting a dog.
LOC was the stuff back then!Back in 1968, their laundry detergent was their best seller.
Maybe. What hotel are you in?So, can anyone spare a couple bucks?
I need some ammo for a hungry gun.
California. Hurry, I have to pay by the hour.Maybe. What hotel are you in?
At least you can check out any time you want...California. Hurry, I have to pay by the hour.
I heard they walked that way back after that blunder.I for YEARS before Al invented the net used to regularly give money to a shelter here. I had heard good things about them. One day at work I see an article in the local paper about them. Down towards the end it mentions the guy who runs the place was making about 3 times as much as I did and was selling Amway My charity giving went to another place from that point on. For a long time I supported the Salvation Army. Now one of their top guys puts out a bunch of woke crap calling me a racists. So they will not see a dime from me now either.
Or laid……Answering a hotel room door at 2am is a good way to get shot.
My wife was a Shaklee distributor. We used their vitamins, their detergent, and some liquid she mixed with water and used for her soap and for dishes because her skin is allergic to many soap products. They didn't have any "Free and Clear" type products in the grocery stores then.LOC was the stuff back then!
But you can never leave.At least you can check out any time you want...
Well, I saw a fresh headline yesterday that they are doing a woke seminar on anti-racism. So I think they are still at it.I heard they walked that way back after that blunder.
I was so damn mad I quit paying any attention to anything they said after that. I suspect someone must have been telling some moron that was a poor way to go but, I am still just so sick of this "woke" crap. People telling me everything about my life is I am a racists.I heard they walked that way back after that blunder.
